What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?

Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.

The word you are looking for is:

The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden

If you cloned 12 Michael Jordan's and 12 LeBron James' and had Team Jordan vs. James, which team would win the most games?

a couple of points:

The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well

A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”

How is a narcissist likely to handle situations when confronted with hard truths about themselves?

There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.

as a result Alitheia, the Goddess of Truth, was always depicted as a naked, unassuming and plain looking woman. The Latin equivalent was nuda Veritas. Truth has nothing to hide and didn’t need all the adornments of the other gods.
